Weighing the Costs of Disaster (2010, neutral): “Observational fear learning is integral to contemporary models of anxiety disorders (Mineka & Zinbarg, 2006).”
Sex differences in trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder: a quantitative review of 25 years of research. (2006, background): “The other perspective, argued by contemporary learning theorists (e.g., Clark & Ehlers, 2004; Mineka & Zinbarg, 2006), is that one’s peritraumatic cognitive, emotional, and behavioral reactions are a critical determinant of the subsequent development of fearful reactions.”
Fear extinction and relapse: state of the art. (2013, background): “The backlash against traditional learning theory failed to take account of important theoretical developments within the field of learning theory (Mineka & Zinbarg 2006, Rescorla 1986).”
The Origins of Specific Phobias: Influential Theories and Current Perspectives (2009, methodology): “…addition of the informative and vicariant learning pathways improved the robustness of the classical conditioning model, certain researchers (e.g., Mineka & Zinbarg, 2006; Rachman, 1991) stressed the need to also recognize the concept of preparedness to answer some of the questions that classical…”
Dimensions of artificial intelligence anxiety based on the integrated fear acquisition theory (2020, neutral): “For example, scholars have used this model to explain the causes of anxiety and to study certain anxiety disorders, such as social phobias and panic disorders [19].”
Emotion Regulation and the Anxiety Disorders: An Integrative Review (2010, background): “Prior theory posits that dispositional factors, such as inhibited temperament and/or a tendency to respond with negative affect, may potentiate the effect of later specific learning pathways on the development of anxiety disorders (Barlow, 2002; Mineka & Zinbarg, 1996, 2006).”
Predator‐induced stress and the ecology of fear (2013, background): “…and more biomedical researchers have begun to consider its ecological validity (e.g. Roseboom et al. 2007; Staples, McGregor & Hunt 2009; Cohen et al. 2010) and what this can tell us about the ‘evolution of PTSD’ and other anxiety disorders (e.g. Silove 1998; Mineka & Zinbarg 2006; Cantor 2009).”
Don't fear ‘fear conditioning’: Methodological considerations for the design and analysis of studies on human fear acquisition, extinction, and return of fear (2017, neutral): “Fear acquisition is assumed to represent one mechanism how pathological fears can be acquired (Mineka and Oehlberg, 2008; Mineka and Zinbarg, 2006; Ohman and Mineka, 2001).”
Patterns of Emotional Reactivity and Regulation in Children with Anxiety Disorders (2010, background): “In the context of anxiety disorders, it has been suggested that the frequent use of avoidance (Mineka and Zinbarg 2006) is an important factor in the development of these disorders.”
What we fear most: A developmental advantage for threat-relevant stimuli (2013, background): “As mentioned above, traditional models of fear acquisition assert that humans learn to fear all stimuli via generalized learning mechanisms such as classical conditioning or observational learning (Mineka & Zinbarg, 2006; Rachman, 1977).”
A Heuristic for Developing Transdiagnostic Models of Psychopathology (2011, background): “…a prior history of exposure to particular circumstances, that raise concerns over specific types of threats or that condition anxious reactions to specific threats may produce anxiety disorders rather than depression among people prone to rumination (Ehring & Watkins, 2008; Mineka & Zinbarg, 2006).”
The Fear-Avoidance Model of Musculoskeletal Pain: Current State of Scientific Evidence (2006, background): “Third, individual differences in vulnerabilities exist that can affect how likely fear will be experienced, acquired or maintained over time (Mineka and Zinbarg, 2006).”
